Fished Eagle Lake near Strathmore today

So I decided to give up on Dalemead for now and decided to fish Eagle lake with a friend.

We ended up icing 2 pike in about 5 hrs and had a pretty good time.

This was my first pike through the ice, a whole 5lbs.



I caught it after setting my rod down and snapping pictures of the beautiful day!

Nice. How thick was the ice? were there trucks on it?

Tons of trucks, cars, campers, actually was surprised to see snow on the ice. There was a solid 15"+ and around 2pm the RCMP even drove on with the red and blues flashing, no idea what for.

Talked to one guy and mentioned it was a slower day there, I've only fished from shore here once as I drove by and caught weeds.

Rcmp were there because a man had a heart attack and died. Some are saying he hit his head but this is not true. I knew the man.

That's what I read in another post somewhere, I thought there was quite a bit of snow on Eagle that day, compared to Chain Lakes, or Crawling Valley.
